Her Testimony
My Lord saved my soul when I was 17 years
old!
When I begin to have doubts and fears and begin to grow a little “lukewarm”
in my relationship with God ,I think back to the day so many years ago when,
during a morning service at “Independent” (now “Huntingdon”)
Missionary Baptist Church, I was so wonderfully saved. I grew up in this
church and had gone to the altar for prayer so many times that I had finally
decided God was not going to save me and I just gave up. But that morning
as the service was ending and we were standing to sing, this wonderful feeling
of peace just seemed to engulf my whole body and I began to laugh and laugh
with this wonderful joy!. He had saved ME! During all the ups and downs
of my life My salvation has been the one main constant in my life. When
I have strayed and done wrong God has reached down His hand and pulled me
back in. I know my God is always by my side in whatever I do - He will be
with you in the work place, in the classroom, on the football field, while
away from home at college. Anywhere you are He will be by your side. And
with that realization I know I am my Lord’s child and when I die I
will live with Him forever. I am a Child of God! |

His Testimony
I was raised going to church at Independent Missionary Baptist Church.
In 1977, I went to revival with my family as I had many times before. I
sat in the back of the church with my brother and many of my friends. While
Brother F. L. Ray preached the gospel it seemed as if I was the only person
in the church and God was peaking directly to me. A great conviction came
over me but Satan began working on my pride to hinder me. When the altar
call was given I forgot about pride and made my way to the altar. That revival
service ended and I went home unsatisfied. Later that night, while in bed,
I prayed to God and was saved. I am thankful every day for God's grace and
love because without the Lord I could do nothing. |
